One ot our exchanges that cu

A COWARDLY POLICY.
The policy suggested by some of
the so-called leaders of the demo
cratic party of just lying low and
letting the republicans have a free
hand in the hope that they will
make some bad blunder, thereby
giving the democrats an issue for
the coming presidental campaign is
too cowardly and contemptible to
be entertained for one moment
by an honest democrat. It is these
men who give such advice as this
who have wrecked the party; it
they who are holding it down. In
the history of this country, lias
political party ever accomplished
anything without a policy that
stood for something, without
mission to accpmplisb something?
No never—nor there never will be
It is the idea of these men
make of the democratic party
mere party of obstruction—merely
a party to oppose anything and
everything that the republicans put
forward. This is one of the causes
ot the party’s ruin today—one of
the very first causes.
Kick such fellows as these out
and put up men who stand ior
something, and who want the party
to stand and do something, and
not “lie low” to see what the other
fellow is going to do.
A suggestion which meets with
our heurty approval has been made
to the effect that all the fellows
who voted for Joe Hall’s anti-free
pass bill should, to be consistent
hand back their tree passes they
are now riding about the country
on to the railtoads that gave them
There is no law to compel these
extraordinarily virtuous members
to accept these free passes.
One thing is very certain in the
event the democratic party should
wind up by placing Grover Cleve
land in nomination as its next
presidental candidate; and that is
that the said candidate will receive
in full and overflowing measure
the opposition and viturbution of
Col. Bryan. Not in stinted quant
ities will it be handed forth, but by
the barrel full, and without adul
teration.
A certain enterprising saloon
keeper in Macon has fixed up an
aparatus in his place of business
which, by an electrical contrivance
shows when the curtuin is 'going
to be raised in the opera house
after having been let down be-
ween acts. By this means any
one desiring a drink between acts
can hie out to the saloon, load up
and be warned two minutes before
the curtain goes up, so as not to
miss any of the play. The devil
takes pains to make the rond to
hell as easy and slick as possible.
It must be awfully annoying to
be so great and of so much impor
tance that one cannot secure a
moment of rest and quiet solitude
J. P. Morgan says that bis life is
so literally tormented out of him by
the endless stream of callers who
all have some business of impor-
taRce about which they must see
him. To a man who has never been
outside the wiregrass region of
South Georgia, it does not seem
possible for one man to be able’ to
assume so much power and respon
sibility that thousands of fortunes
and even lives depend upon his
words and auctions. But it' is true,
nevertheless. Never in the history
of the world has any one man car
ried on his shoundiers the great
load of responsibility which rests
on J. P. Morgan today. By his
simple will alone—if he were so
disposed to use it—he could render
homeless and paupers thousands of
fimilies in this country. No man
but a giant could stand under the
weight carried by this man.

The Atlanta Constitution’s
Washington correspondent seems
to think there will be no dearth of
talk during.the present session of
congress, but is very'boubtful of
anything of consequence being
done. It is said to be the game of
the republicans to hold off the
trust and tariff questions this ses
sion so as to gain time to get their
bearings.

Surely the legislature will not
defeat the uniform text-book bill.
Such a law is one of the crying
needs of this state today. It has
proved a splendid success in every
stale in which it has been tried, and
the advantages to be derived from
such a system would be found to be
most beneficial to the public school
spstem of this state. Uniformity of
text books means better schools and
an improved system of instruction.
No argument of any consequence
can be applied against such a law,
while a great many very sttong
ones can be made in its favor.
